The proposal was to not allow you to change your e-mail address unless you can enter your old (current) e-mail correctly; making your e-mail address a bit like a second password.

A problem with this is that it needs to address the unlikely situation of someone not remembering what their old e-mail address was. Or, more likely, when someone enters their e-mail address incorrectly and doesn't notice and so can never change their e-mail address again.

This is the same reason why I haven't made it so you have to enter your old password in order to change your password.

Perhaps you should be required to enter at least two of your password, e-mail address, and "real name" in order to be able to change (or see) any of them?

And it'd be nice if we had a solution for the "I forgot my password and I no longer have that e-mail address" problem.

At least we no longer output the password in the HTML when you edit your home node.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
